Spain, Turkey snag Armoza game show “Pull Over”

Spain’s Boomerang TV and Turkey’s HMO have picked up Pull Over (pictured), the hidden camera ambush game show that allows its victims to potentially win a new car.

Developed by Rage The Cage creator Shy Barmeli and Ori Dror, and recently launched at MIPTV by Israel-based Armoza Formats, the 30-minute-episodic on-location game show finds its unsuspecting contestants pulled over by a policeman for speeding.

Instead of issuing them a ticket, however, he hands them eight keys and hands them seven questions. The contestants then place each of the eight keys on potential answers, and if they’re correct, the corresponding key remains in play. At the end of the game, the players will attempt to unlock the brand new car with the remaining keys, claiming immediate ownership if one opens the door.

Pull Over is not the first purchased collaboration between Boomerang and Armoza: the duo also worked together on four seasons of the format Overdraft Family, which aired on Spain’s Cuatro.

Meanwhile, HMO recently acquired Armoza’s Who’s Asking, and CEO Avi Armoza said both Turkey and Spain “are both strong territories for us with our game shows.”

“We’ve seen a very strong third season launch of studio game show Still Standing in Turkey last week,” said Armoza in a statement, “And we’re very happy to see this continue with the acquisition of the rights of Pull Over.”
